Four Retail Distribution Trends
to Watch in 2015
by Kris Bjorson, International Director of Retail E-Commerce and Distribution, JLL
Retailers, consumer goods and e-commerce companies are driving nearly 40 percent
of all industrial real estate demand. A new JLL report on global e-commerce points to
four major 2015 retail distribution trends:
1) Hello, Online Grocery Shopping.
Grocery shopping as we know it is
changing. Boston Consulting Group
(BCG) expects the global online
grocery market to increase from
$36 billion in 2013 to $100 billion
by 2018. This expansion from an
industry with highly perishable
goods requiring quick delivery and
near-proximity will add urgency to
the already overly-saturated demand
for logistics facilities near major U.S.
population centers.
2) Customers demand full channel
integration. Delivering a seamless
customer brand experience means
using all channels—stores, websites
and mobile platforms that must
work together. And so should their
real estate. Outdated distribution
centers that don’t support an
integrated, omni-channel strategy
will require updating or even
eliminating. Likewise, stores must
support e-commerce transactions
without cross-channel glitches.
3) Sophisticated logistics
strategies reshape real estate.
Creative logistics strategies are
pushing retailers in new directions.
Amazon’s ‘anticipatory shipping’
threatens to take consumer
expectations about convenience to
the next level. Another potential
new development is the introduction
of the ‘click and collect’ concept,
where retailers partner with thirdparty logistics (3PLs) companies to
allow customers to pick up online
orders from convenient locations
such as train stations, convenience
stores or airports. As these strategies
play out, both retail properties and
distribution networks will change.
4) Flexibility = profitability.
Location has long been a prime
success factor for retailers, but it
takes on a much broader scope in
the new retail landscape where the
location of store fronts, fulfillment
centers and warehouse distribution
centers all take on equal importance.
To keep up with rapid changes to
the market, retailers must plan their
distribution networks and buildings
with flexibility in mind. For
instance, more retailers are using
stores to help fulfill online orders,
which may require adjustments to
store layouts, dedicating more space
to the backroom.

Facts:
Predictions:
• Global e-commerce sales are predicted to jump from $1.5 trillion in 2014 to more than $2.3 trillion by 2017.
• An omni-channel approach can provide retailers with
significant benefits, including an increase in sales
through enhanced availability and responsiveness
and a stronger brand reputation based on superior
customer service.
• It is no longer enough for retailers to offer customers
multiple shopping channels. These now need to be
fully integrated and managed to provide customers
with a seamless omni-channel shopping experience.
• Delivering a seamless and integrated customer
experience across all shopping channels requires
significant business restructuring, embracing new
processes, technology, people and external partners.
• The reconfiguration of industrial real estate is a critical
part of this change. The specification and internal
layout of facilities for omni-channel logistics are
significantly different from those that service stores.
• Because the retail landscape can change so rapidly,
successful retailers will build flexibility into their
distribution networks and buildings so they can
respond quickly to changes in consumer demands.
It is no
longer
enough for
retailers
to offer
customers
multiple
shopping
channels.
• Retailers with international capabilities and a global
platform will be best-positioned to take advantage of
strong e-commerce growth in emerging markets.
• Having the right physical real estate, retail and
distribution, in the right locations with the flexibility
to change will be critical success factors for retailers. Download a copy of JLL’s report here

RISING
STAR
King and I Thai, Mendota Plaza
by Nicole Urista, Paster Properties
King and I Thai was established
in 1981 at 1034 Nicollet Mall,
downtown Minneapolis. After
nine years in business, the original
owners decided to go back to
Thailand and sold the restaurant
to Pu and Gary. In 1999 Target
Corporation asked King and I Thai
to relocate and six short months
later the restaurant opened at 1346
LaSalle Ave. In 2012 the LaSalle
building switched hands; the new
owners gave King and I Thai 30 days
to cease business. At that time, King
and I Thai’s staff used social media
to let their devoted customers know
they would be closing the restaurant
on December 16, 2012.
After much anticipation, King and
I Thai opened their doors to the
100-seat restaurant at Mendota
Plaza in Mendota Heights on
Wednesday, July 15 and the same
chef as the previous location is
cooking the food. The 3,046 square
foot restaurant is next to Teresa’s
Mexican Restaurant, Custom
Professional Upholstery and Fresh
and Natural Foods.
King and I Thai offers homemade
authentic Thai food and is known
for its curries. A few of the all time
favorites are #34 Roasted Hot Pepper
Sauce, #32 Holy Basil Stir-Fry and
#43 Garlic Sauce Stir-Fry. King and
I Thai offers a large selection of craft
beers and wines that change with
the seasons. For a dessert that you
cannot pass, King and I Thai offers
Izzy’s Ice Cream. King and I Thai
also has “to go” ordering which
is available by phone or on their
website.
You’ll definitely leave King and I
Thai feeling satisfied and full as they
serve the finest Thai cuisine in the
Twin Cities! n
Two years later, Gary and Pu
collaborated with their son Leonard,
on the plans to re-open King and
I Thai. On December 19, 2014
King and I Thai posted a photo
of storefront signs reading “King
and I Thai Coming Soon!” on their
Facebook page with the caption
“It is really happening!!” This post
received 250 likes and over 50
comments and shares. Another
Facebook follower wrote “For the
same menu, we’d even follow you to
Iowa. Can’t wait!” King and I Thai
continued to keep their loyal fans
updated throughout the build out
process. The number one question
remained: When are you opening?

Kozulla & Associates, Inc.
Kraus-Anderson CompanIES
What was your first job in this industry and for how long?
My formal education was in architecture. I began as a young
architectural drafter in a small firm working on just about any
building type project that came into the office. Time passed and
my technical knowledge and experience grew, and now I have
been providing management services to my clients in some
capacity in excess of 35 years.
What was your first job in this industry and for how long?
I worked for the management office at Rosedale Center for 5
years and held the position of Accouting Assistant and Specialty
Leasing Manager.
What keeps you in the business? I like the variety of the job and
enjoy the great relationships I have made through this career.
Who has been an influential teacher, mentor, or model to you
and what did you learn from them? The person who has been
the most instrumental in my real estate career is Dawn Grant.
She was a former boss and taught me a lot about the industry in a
short period of time and instilled a great work ethic in me!
What keeps you in the business? The self-satisfaction to provide
a quality service not only to my client but to all members of
the team. It’s also very gratifying to watch the project from
conception to occupancy and beyond.
Who has been an influential teacher, mentor, or model to you
and what did you learn from them? First and foremost, my
father. Coming from a farming and construction background, the
nonstop work ethic to understand the issue, address and execute
as best as you can — every time. Don’t waste time.
What is the most unique project/lease/property that you
ever worked on in your career? Probably the “Red Carpet
Initiative”. It was an initiative to get short term retailers to come
to downtown St. Paul during the RNC Convention in 2008.
What is the most unique project/lease/property that you
ever worked on in your career? There have been many. As an
ex-practicing architect and current owner’s representative, I’ve
done numerous unique and interesting projects, each with their
own challenges. One which is special to me and to this group is to
receive a STARR SM Award for an exterior retail renovation in 2012.
If you had unlimited funds to invest in a retail franchise, which
one would it be and why? Anthropologie – I love that store!
If you are a seasoned veteran, what advice would you give to those
new in the industry? Be respectful and courteous of everyone on
the team, be willing to do whatever it takes no matter what hour
of the day or night, and don’t lose track of the owner’s schedules
and budgets. Surround yourself with a team qualified to perform
the task.
What is your favorite real estate related app? It’s nothing high
tech but I would have to say I would have to say my cell phone
camera. I don’t know what I’d do without it!
If you are a seasoned veteran, what advice would you give to
those new in the industry? Give your tenants the utmost in
customer service that you can while keeping the owner’s best
interest in mind.
What is your favorite word these days? Grateful.
What profession other than yours would you most like to
attempt? I have always had an interest in being an architect.
What is your favorite real estate related app? Being in the
design and construction side of the business, I have my own
developed sheets.
Thanks Shawn
What is your motto / personal mantra? Make the right decision
quickly to keep the project moving forward.
When you retire, you want to ___________? Keep active,
whether it be my professional career to some capacity, outdoors,
mechanics, carpentry, do-it-yourself projects. It’s what keeps me
going. I can’t see myself going fishing every day.
IT’S YOUR BUSINESS.
Whether you’ve created the business of your dreams or it’s a
dream-in-progress, you can count on me to help you protect it.
Let’s talk, business owner to business owner.
Thanks Gregory
